2014 freeride 137 with 1,3/4 paddles geared up a bit and does around 155 km wide open. The sled is sick in the ditches and sweet for jumping road approaches.

This was one of my most favorite builds. started as a 06 500SS, motor was punched out to a 664. It was one of the funniest motors I've ever owned..very quick RPM and would give stock 800 Renegade's fits. The lightest iteration of it was under 410 lbs.

What did you think of the ad bovin skid? Why the gen 2's on a ditch banger?

Who makes the tunnel/grab bar extension? Home built? I dig it.

Skid was alright, but valvig was tricky to get correct. It was far off from boivin. Skid wasn't nearly as light as claimed. Big Gen II's were on there to test. I always seem to have a handful of parts to try.

Yeah...home built...that was when I started getting involved in laser profiles and machining. Versions and tunnels after that got significantly lighter :)

Come fall when it's time to start putting my heap back together, I may come knocking. I plan on stretching out my summit and an extension would be in order.

Where I come from, ditch bangers don't look like these sleds. These are really nice sleds to be honest. My ditch banger is a '98 Ski Doo Formula SL 121 track with 3/4" lugs. It makes riding in anything deeper than a foot of snow very interesting. Momentum is your friend with that sled.

No pics on this computer. I prefer looking at my Pro. lol

I have an 81 excell 3 and an 83 bravo 250. I am in the market for one more beater if anyone has something. I sometimes almost have more fun on the old beaters racing buddies and busting drifts than on my mountain sled. I find I do more damage to the mountain machines ditch banging than ripping up in the hills.
